This is really an abuse.
However, consider that a dialplan can be generated gynamically using
"add extension" from the CLI. So just use a few:
asterisk -rx "add extension ..."
(dialplan add extension, in 1.4 syntax). If you think that this is not
efficient enough, then there was a recent thread in this list about
making this operation much more efficient.
Oh, this is this thread. Hmm...
Any reason not to use the manager approach (or writing directly to the
unix domain socket, as I have suggested, if you really hate creating a
manager interface user)?
A dialplan is something to be executed at call time. If you need to do
something that is not from the context of a channel, use the manager
interface (or the CLI, which is rather equivalent).
